(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Yaakov Lappin - Israel's security cabinet approved a limited call-up of a few hundred reservists in vital military capacities and deployed air defenses around the country on Wednesday as precautionary measures ahead of an expected U.S. strike on Syria. The security cabinet was told there was a "low probability" that Syrian President Assad would respond by striking Israel. Assad is cognizant of messages Israel has sent indicating that an attack on Israel would ignite a counter-attack that would bring down his regime. Nevertheless, Israel was preparing for any eventuality. Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a statement Wednesday saying Israelis need not alter their daily routine. Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said, "We're not involved in this and we're not getting involved. The Syrians crossed a red line set by the United States, prohibiting use of chemical weapons against civilians....Those who are dealing with this issue are not us, but rather the Western world under the leadership of the United States." 2013-08-29 00:00:00Full Article
